I went to a public school through sixth grade, and being good at tests wasn't cool.
Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.
The moral systems of religion, I think, are super important.
I have a particular relationship with Vinod Khosla because he's got a lot of very interesting science-based energy startups.
My experience of malaria was just taking anti-malarials, which give you strange dreams, because I don't want to get malaria.
To create a new standard, it takes something that's not just a little bit different; it takes something that's really new and really captures people's imagination, and the Macintosh, of all the machines I've ever seen, is the only one that meets that standard.
I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm - not all - that religion used to fill.
I like the idea of putting your Christmas wish list up and letting people share it.
When Paul Allen and I started Microsoft over 30 years ago, we had big dreams about software. We had dreams about the impact it could have.
I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.
